    Study Notes

    Active-Passive Voice

    • Active voice in a sentence emphasizes the subject performing an action.
    • Passive voice emphasizes the action itself and the object receiving the action.

    Passive Voice Formation

    • Be verb (in the appropriate tense) + Past Participle of the verb + Optional Prepositional Phrase
    • Present Simple: is/are/am + Past Participle
    • Present Continuous: is/are/am + being + Past Participle
    • Present Perfect: have/has + been + Past Participle
    • Past Simple: was/were + Past Participle
    • Past Continuous: was/were + being + Past Participle
    • Past Perfect: had + been + Past Participle
    • Future Simple: will be + Past Participle
    • Future Perfect: will have been + Past Participle

    Examples

    • Active: The man builds the house.
    • Passive: The house is built by the man.
    • Active: He will have written a letter.
    • Passive: A letter will have been written by him.
    • Active: They are catching butterflies.
    • Passive: Butterflies are being caught by them.
    • Active: She does not decorate the cake.
    • Passive: The cake is not being decorated by her.

    When to Use Passive Voice

    • When the actor is unknown or unimportant.
    • When the focus is on the action and its result.
    • To create a formal or impersonal tone.

    Limitations

    • Passive voice can sometimes make sentences less direct and can be more difficult to understand.
    • It’s best to use active voice if the actor is important and you do not want to make your writing sound formal.
